Here is a shell script that sets a serial port, reads data from the serial port and pipes it to another program (rpm)
#!/bin/sh # open ttyS1, set to 19200 and raw mode (so as not to choke on checksum) stty 19200 raw </dev/ttyS1 # Print what comes from ttyS1, filter through rpm cat </dev/ttyS1 |./rpm -n $1 $2 $3 $4 You can change the last line as follows: cat </dev/ttyS1 > dada.txt to send the data to a file instead. Change serial port or setting as you see fit. Didier KO4BB Hal Murray wrote: >> Does anyone have a simple Perl (or C) script to write data from a >> serial port to a file?
